Thank You Note For Job Interview

By: Jimmy Sweeney

The thank you note for job interview can be used for
more than simply saying thanks for the meeting. If it
is written to include some information that the
interviewer would appreciate, it can be a way to
display some of the positive attributes of your
character, to create a relationship with the
interviewer and to make your communications more
valuable to the people who receive them. The way to do
this is by including a piece of information called the
informational gift with your thank you letter. The
informational gift is a piece of knowledge that you
believe the interviewer would find useful. That
information can be as in-depth as a published article
or as simple as a list or contact person.

You decide what informational gift to include in your
thank you note for job interview by paying attention
to the interviewer during the meeting. During your
conversation, you are likely to see that some topics
or subjects crate more interest and attention from the
interviewer tan others. Whether those topics are
professional or personal, they will be the subjects of
your informational gift. As you write your thank you
note, be sure to make that inclusion sound natural and
organic. Begin the thank you note with a sentence of
appreciation for the interview, express continued
interest in the position, and invite the interviewer
to contact you for more information or talk later.
Lastly, preface the informational gift.

A Sample Thank You Note for a Job Interview

A good thank you note for job interview would go
something like this: “Thank you so much for your time
and attention on Thursday. I enjoyed the chance to
learn more about the position and can say that I am
more excited than ever about the opening now. Please
feel free to give me a call to set up another meeting
at your convenience. Thanks. One more thing. During
our talk, you noted the “running” hobby on my resume
and said that you had been looking for a way to get
back to running again. Here is the web address for the
running club I belong to. There are chapters all over
town, and it’s very opening to people at all levels. I
hope that you come out sometime and go on a run with
us.

This thank you note for job interview stands out very
starkly from the typical thank you note that
interviewers receive. It shows that the candidate pays
attention to the things that he or she hears the
interviewer says, then takes action on them later.
Additionally, it creates a slight relationship between
the two of them. The candidate isn’t just another
candidate anymore. He or she is the one who gave the
interviewer a tip on how to join a running club. For
this reason, the interviewer is likely to be much more
welcoming of future communications from the candidate
than from the average job seeker who comes in for an
interview.
